2012 is quickly drawing to a close, and while many celebrate the season with family and friends, the war machine maintains its imperial depravity with total disregard for humanity and an insatiable appetite for power and profit. And big media lends it credibility because morally bankrupt leaders and institutions of power keep them on their payroll. It’s a vicious cycle that leaves a gaping void where the truth should be.

16 December 2011 — The David Kelly Inquest Fund
At long last a step closer to a coroner’s inquest into the death of Dr. David Kelly.
